I visited Paradise Park mid October 2012 with my three and a half year old little girl. We were looking forward to having a decent half day out on a drizzly autumn day. The first alarm bells were ringing when I paid £22 for my adult ticket (my daughter went free). A bit steep compared to The Cotswold Wildlife Park (which is close to where we live) at £9 for an adult. Onward to the cafe for a quick snack and a drink before going 'round. We seemed to be the only visitors there (mid-morning). A couple of maintenance men from the park were busy repairing the woodwork around the doors of the cafe, my daughter had her hands on her ears as his drilling was noisy. I would have thought that such work was carried out when paying visitors were not around? Had a walk around the 'zoo' bit, which felt a bit depressing. I'm sure the birds are cared for but they didn't seem to have much space. I'm sure Ravens and Golden Eagles are designed for roaming wide spaces, and not sure that they are suitable species for close confinement. back to the cafe, which now had a good few tables occupied. The workmen were still there, and I noticed a tin of paint with the lid off sitting on one of the cafe tables. Decided not to eat in the cafe after all. Mentioned to the workman that he shouldn't really have a tin of gloss paint opened in a cafe whilst people are eating. he said that it was OK, and that it was waterproof paint that met EU standards. That's alright then. I'm sure that the local Environmental health Officer would disagree. The play barn was good fun though. Perhaps they should re-think what they do, concentrate on Kids fun indoor/ outdoor activities and move the animals to better homes. - in my opinion.

Hello 201Anon,

I appreciate your feedback and sorry that you were disappointed with some of the aspects of your visit, but glad that you and your daughter enjoyed the play barn.

Yes the workmen should have been out of the café area (we are installing double glazed panels for more efficient heating this winter), by the time we had opened. They have been reminded of this to ensure it doesn’t happen again and apologise for the inconvenience.

We do indeed do our utmost to care for our birds – our Golden Eagle does fly free on most days in the bird of prey area beyond the farm. She will be in an aviary for a few months until training starts for the 2013 season. We work closely with many national and international breeding schemes for the rare and endangered species held here at the Park.

Regarding the entry price in October, we do everything we can to keep our entry prices as low as possible. Having checked the Cotswolds Wildlife Park website, for one adult and one child (3 years & over) we are just 90 pence more. When we can we offer discounts on our website or via Facebook/Twitter to help reduce costs to our visitors.

Again many thanks for your feedback.

We visited very recently and luckily managed to come and have most of a day without rain

Although the entrance fee was quite expensive, and we were a little dubious about how interesting the place would actually be, we were really happy.

My boys, 2 and 4 were able to feed the penguins a whole bucket of fish and stroke a little old penguin and then we went off to feed nectar to a million lorikeets!

The park is nicely laid out on a kind of twisty path so you feel you are seeing everything and most of the cages were quite substantial compared to others I have seen. Iv seen people complain there is too much in the cages and it's difficult to see some but this is what they need. The red squirrel did have a fantastic cage, however some animals clearly shouldn't be holed up judging by his repetitive acrobatics :(.

The farm animals were all in great condition, not all boxed away and really friendly.

The indoor play area was great, really big and well laid out

We visited Trethorne Leisure park today and was so disappointed with it, we really wished we had come back to Paradise Park instead
